1. Tuck Me In

I don’t want to go to bed* Why not* Because I don’t want to sleep*

I don’t want to go to bed Until you tell me a bedtime story Can you tell me my favorite story Oh yeah

I don’t want to turn off the lights (it’s lights out) Until you give me a glass of water Lord have mercy I’m so thirsty Oh yeah

I don’t wanna close my eyes Because there’s monsters in the closet (grrr) They’re so hairy and so scary Oh yeah

I don’t want to go to bed without you in my arms So just tuck me and in then promise you won’t leave me in the dark

My body is my body is my body My body is my body is mine My body is my body is — it’s not yours it’s mine My body is my body is my body My body is my body is mine (it’s my body all mine) My body is my body is — it’s not yours it’s mine Nah nah it’s my body (it’s my body all mine) Nah nah it’s my body Nah nah it’s my body All mine It’s my body And my rules You want a hug Just ask and see if its cool A high ﬁve or a squeeze That can be alright But if I’m not in the mood Then that’s just ﬁne

If I feel good I say so But when I don’t I can say no ‘cause

Yeah it’s your body And your choice You got a brain and a mouth So use your voice Be bold Speak up Don’t be afraid No one should ever make you Feel hurt or ashamed

Cause when you feel good You say so But when you don’t You can say no ‘cause

My body is my body is my body My body is my body is mine My body is my body is — it’s not yours it’s mine My body is my body is my body (my body is mine) My body is my body is mine (it’s my body all mine) My body is my body is — it’s not yours it’s mine Nah nah it’s my body (it’s my body all mine) Nah nah it’s my body Nah nah it’s my body All mine C-O-N-S-E-N-T If you want to know just ask me please C-O-N-S-E-N-T If you want to know just ask me please R-E-S-P-E-C-T Respect my words and my boundaries R-E-S-P-E-C-T Respect my words and my boundaries

4. Bubble *note: voice memo is in the “hummed” vocal sample throughout the beat

I woke up and I’m feeling anxious When I'm with you I don't feel the safest I need space I think this relationship Needs boundaries Cause I love me and I made a promise I’m not mean I’m just being honest I need space away from you basically

Get out of my bubble (bubble) Don’t pop my bubble Don’t talk to my bubble (bubble) There’s gonna be trouble (trouble0 Stay away from my bubble (bubble) My sensitive bubble My chrysalis bubble I can’t be subtle Don’t touch my bubble

I know it may seem frightening Sometimes I feel stressed out that's okay But everyone feels anxiety It's a normal part of living life

I love myself and made a commitment To have healthy vibes and intentions Think of this as some social distancing My boundaries Are like a fortress They keep me safe from harm It keeps me grounded and makes me strong I’m working hard to take care of me

I know it may seem frightening Sometimes I feel stressed out that's okay But everyone feels anxiety It's a normal part of living life

Boundaries are a way to keep you safe Trust your intuition breathe And say what you gotta say Your boundaries protect you Tuck your heart away from harm and you will ﬁnd Just a little peace of mind You are divine You are divine

Boundaries are a way to keep you safe Trust your intuition breathe And say what you gotta say (breathe in) Your boundaries protect you (breathe out) Tuck your heart away from harm and you will ﬁnd Just a little peace of mind You are divine You are divine

Everybody has a talent or a skill When we were born God gave us some abilities And sometimes we don’t know until later Until we’re grown up Sometimes we have a little clue as to what our special gift is And so as artists it’s important to be perceptive That means to be more aware So that when you create your art Whether its singing or drawing or tattoos or tissue paper Then you have more of yourself to bring to that art Because you’re more aware And as artists we have a vert important job in this world It’s to bring beauty and to bring joy to other people Because if you’re an artist and other people enjoy your work You make them smile That’s really a gift And so today From today on If you could just spend a few seconds every day With your eyes shut and noticing What’s around you in a different way It’s gonna help you Later in life As an artist Okay Thank you for coming in Thank you for inviting us You’re welcome Bye bye Yeah thanks for that Dad
